This makes tracing a bit harder to follow.  Perhaps you can keep the 
transport tag (a uint64_t) in the SCSIRequest for debugging purposes?

Might as well pass NULL here.  The hba_private value is basically 
unnecessary when the adapter doesn't support tagged command queuing.

Same here, just pass NULL and remove these ifs.

Otherwise looks like a very good idea.
